2 Corinthians 13
2 Corinthians 13:1 2 This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of
two or three witnesses shall every word be established.
2 I told you
before, and foretell you, as if I were present, the second time; and being
absent now I write to them which heretofore have sinned, and to all other,
that, if I come again, I will not spare:
3 Since ye seek a proof of
Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you.
4 For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the
power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the
power of God toward you.
5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the
faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus
Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
6 But I trust that ye
shall know that we are not reprobates.
7 Now I pray to God that ye
do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should that
which is honest, though we be as reprobates.
8 For we can do nothing
against the truth, but for the truth.
9 For we are glad, when we are
weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection.
10 Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I
should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath given me to
edification, and not to destruction.
11 Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be
of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with
you.
12 Greet one another with an holy kiss.
13 All the
saints salute you.
14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and
the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all.
Amen.

of Benjamin, Iceland became an independent nation.

The first tribe to be
conquered by the Assyrians was Manasseh,
in 745 B.C. Exactly 2520 years later America became a nation on July 4, 1776.
(Leviticus. 26: 28-46) God warned Israel that if they persisted in continually
breaking His Laws, not only would curses come upon them.
He would punish them for seven times, (a time being 360 years, seven times would
be 2520 years) and would banish them from the land of Palestine and scatter them
among the heathens (like lost sheep)
